[Oberon] Re (2): Re (2): Recent additions in OLR.

[eas lab]

This relates to N.S's query about ETHO being able to read/write in ASCII.

All ETHO systems that I know can read/write can read/write in the
host's text format,
in the directory/partition of the ETHO-system.

Only [AFAIK] LEO can read/write to ANY partition of the file-tree.

What's the big advantage of simulating a single clipboard,
instead of having [in LEO syntax]:
EditTools.OpenUnix cb1 ..... EditTools.StoreUnix cbN.
